Perhaps I missed somethin in the news on this but... Aren't they selling TPB to someone else? Why would it matter if it's blocked?

If you look at the pictures, they do have pictures on each end to help determine that.. Briefcase on one side, home on another, His and Hers, etc. Wouldn't be too hard to remember which side you saved things on depending on what you get.

looks a bit cluttered to me.. But I'd be willing to give it a shot.

I'll just get my copy from my MSDN account. Unfortunately I'll have to buy a copy for my wife, but the college offers those wonderful discounts so shouldn't be bad. :D

please please please please!!!

@Steve and Templarian. Neither of you mentioned the size of said University. So it's not a fair assumption from Templarian that IT might be bad at Steves college. He does bring up a good point that the software can't just be upgraded in the middle of a program without making changes to said program, thus setting students back. A lot of College/University IT depts are understaffed. I work at a 2 yr college so we don't quite deal with as many computers as you 2 are used to. We have chosen to skip Vista as well, partially due to some people in our department refusing to let go of the bad reviews and such that Vista has. We also will be rolling out by mid 2010.

We loaded up Vista and W7 RC on seperate machines with same specs (2.6Ghz P4, 1gig ram, 40gig hdd, the average spec of the computers here), same programs etc, and they both ran just fine and and pretty much the same speed. Vista Business edition is definitely not bad. I have W7 RC at home and love it. Been kinda hard to get used to some things, but any of my really old programs that I sometimes had a difficult time even getting them to work on XP, run just fine on W7. Drop it into compatibility mode and it's been smooth sailing. I haven't had much experience with Vista compatibility mode so I can't say. I would skip Vista myself simply because W7 is much better.

I understand IT wanting to wait for it to be proven, but the excuse that people wouldn't want to upgrade due to hardware is somewhat lacking. As mentioned in the hardware specs above, W7 doesn't need really high end to work fine. I have it installed on a 4yr old laptop at home and I sometimes feel like it's faster than XP was on there. Anywho, my 2 cents.

Would love one of these! only have a 2 gig now and my wife needs one for her phone.

My wife has been wanting one of these.

Count me in!

So for those of us without HD, and besides Hulu and possible Veoh (and netflix) what other tv/movie alternatives are there? Are there any others I can watch from my Wii? Lookin to cut back on things so I'm ditchin my dish and tryin to find any alternatives. I have one of my PCs hooked up to the tv and a wii, so anything I watch using those is now my entertainment. Thoughts?
